Ethical Consuming: Neat things from Etsy that support independent artists.

Fun: Dip Your Chip Only Once this Superbowl Sunday. And, come Monday, engage in a little freak out.

News: Legislators consider the people in Watts (but only if they are considering buying an SUV), and, speaking of taking advantage of the poor for political gain, apparently the Iraq war is now staffed by Latin America. Lovely. We were ticked off by some of the extraordinarily stupid rhetoric of second wave feminism. And helicopter parents help out their college kids. And the kids like it. Speaking of kids, talk to your kids about the workplace, including workplace safety and their rights. And, finally, companies in Japan consider divorce a reason for time-off. Makes sense to me.

Notes: The Worst Things to Say at Work (some of which seem perfectly reasonable to us). And negotiating with drunks when you’re a vintner. And we attempted to categorize Generation X and their experiences in the workplace.

Spirituality: The Mid-Life Crisis. It’s real.
